March 2025

I doubt there will ever again be a mainstream game with a storyline this subversive and suspenseful. Even more than ten years later, this game feels like playing a blockbuster action movie. Lightning in a bottle.

Good Old COD Rating: 9/10 I found it way easier than MW remaster after finishing both on Veteran difficulty. But I had ton of fun in campaign. I highly recommend to follow the Modern Warfare release order to understand characters and some story references. Good game. MP isn't dead either. Just bring the damn remastered version here, activision mofks

Great game. Shame it's full of RCE exploits, which Activision doesn't care to fix. DO NOT BUY
